DCT GDANSK, the Baltic`s rapidly growing gateway to Central-Eastern Europe and Russia celebrated its fifth anniversary last month with the facility increasing its capacity 25 per cent to 1.25 million TEU with the addition of new stacking areas.


The close cooperation between the container port and local authorities has ensured the development of surrounding road, rail and logistic infrastructure that were necessary to accompany the facility`s rapid growth. To date, 500 jobs have been created in the port alone and many more will be generated by the 100-hectare logistics park project, now under construction, reports UK`s Maritime Journal in Hampshire

 
DCT Gdansk was opened in October 2007 and has rapidly developed into Poland`s biggest container terminal with over 57 per cent share in container handlings. The terminal serves Poland, surrounding Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries and Russia and is the only hub port on the Baltic Sea with weekly calls of ultra-large container vessels.
